Starting with the “Manhattan” there has been pattern of naming cocktails after cities, places, and neighborhoods in New York. In 2004, Vincenzo Errico, while working at Milk & Honey in New York, created a riff on the Manhattan and named it after the “Red Hook” neighborhood in Brooklyn (as opposed to the town of Red Hook, which is also in New York).
